Most of us assume the voice in our head is our own. But a lot of the time, it isn’t. In this episode, I explore how our inner dialogue is shaped by the people we grew up around—and how to start reclaiming your own voice.

Almost 95% of your daily decision-making is driven by your subconscious mind. That means most of the day, you’re not consciously choosing your reactions, your habits, or even your self-perception — you’re running programs that were installed long before you had any say in them.

And the world is constantly installing more.

Through advertising, media, achievement culture, beauty standards — there’s an underlying message woven into everything: you are not enough. Not enough as you are. You can prove your worth through success, money, productivity, appearance.

If we’re already being influenced every single day, then the real question becomes: are you choosing what influences you?

Reprogramming your subconscious isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about taking your power back at the root. Because if something is going to shape your self-concept, it might as well be something you consciously decide to let in.

This first episode is a real-time introduction—not to a polished concept, but to my voice. I share why Earth School Radio never fully came to life, how control and self-repression shaped the way I showed up in my work, and what it means to choose expression over perfection. This is me thinking out loud about ideas, identity, creativity, and the freedom to create without needing it to make sense or succeed.
